DESCRIPTION

Ultraﬂex 2 is a professional-grade, single-component, high-performance,

polymer-modiﬁed thin-set mortar for interior and exterior installations of

ceramic, porcelain and dimensional natural-stone tile. This mortar has a

high content of unique dry polymer, resulting in excellent adhesion to the

substrate and tile. Ultraﬂex 2 meets or exceeds ANSI A118.4 and ANSI A118.11

requirements when mixed with water. Ultraﬂex 2 can be used for interior and

exterior installations of tile in most residential ﬂoor and wall applications.

In commercial applications, use on interior ﬂoor and wall installations and

exterior ﬂoors.
